Almost all of the Masters of old have said that Karate = Kata & Kata= Karate.
Kata are not just 'forms for developing the physical fitness' or 'folk dances of Okinawans' or 'a thing' to pass a next kyu/dan.
Each Kata is a recordings of fighting techniques learned & converted into a mnemonic sequence/form by the Masters of old.
Hanshi Patrick McCarthy is a leading researcher on traditional karate & founder of IRKRS & "Koryu Uchinadi Kenpo Jutsu". His HAPV theory, 2-person drills & his overall Karate & Kobudo curriculum are a deep ocean of knowledge of karate jutsu..!!
I am really happy that @ my beginner's stage i came across his work & have started walking on a right path.
